Professor Genius

With an arty, Brooklyn approach that embraces everything from Italo-disco to post-punk pointillism to Jarre-style synth washes, Jorge Velez aka Professor Genius has recently been clothing himself in Muslim gauze, working Middle Eastern and industrial tinged soundscapes more suited toward psilocybin than ecstasy. He’ll perform live, with backup from Rufus and Vincent Manfuocco.
